Google has started rolling out two new accessibility improvements in Google+ Hangouts: a sign language interpreter app, and more keyboard shortcuts. <\/p>\n

Google’s Anna Cavender announced the features in a Google+ post<\/a> Thursday evening, saying that both are rolling out gradually. <\/p>\n

“Using the Sign Language Interpreter app, deaf or hard of hearing users who prefer sign language can invite interpreters to speak and sign for them during a Hangout,” she says. “They’ll always see their interpreter at the top right of the window, and they’ll become the focus of the Hangout whenever their interpreter speaks for them.”<\/p>\n

The app can be installed from here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Keyboard shortcuts, she says, are great for those who can’t or don’t want to use a mouse during video chat. “For example: muting your microphone is now as simple as Ctrl+D (PC) or Command+D (Mac), and you can start chatting with Ctrl+B (PC) or Command+B (Mac),” she explains. <\/p>\n

The full list of shortcuts can be found here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Google also announced some new keyboard navigation for Gmail<\/a>. <\/p>\n
